You're lucky. What I wouldn't give to just have a day out driving on that road listening to all my favorite Rascal Flatts tracks. Then when I develop a feel for the road, I can try what my bro on the board be doing. Looks like fun. Dangerous I admit but fun nonetheless.

I totally agree with having a speedometer. Also the percentage of grade and elevation difference from start to end. Seeing some of those stats would make these videos that much more interesting.

We don’t do that here

Yes.

Could be a distraction ,flash up every now and again might be cool.

wow. turtles never even occurred to me

Mario Kart intesifies

Even in video games you fall at this speed.

Hello!! First off yes they do tighten their trucks to reduce speed wobbles/ increase stability. Largely though, the stability comes with their experience in riding (leaning forward, balance, weight distribution, and confidence) and more importantly the bushings used on their trucks. Harder barrel (venom) bushings are used in the back more specifically (boardside) to reduce chances of speed wobbles. Other factors take into place like a stiff board, low degree trucks, length of trucks, and wheel base. But in general all that can be accounted for with bushings and of course the tightening of the trucks. Secondly no, pebbles are not a big deal. It seems like the wheels hes using are the same i use and they are 72mm in diameter. Essentially unless it’s a big rock... he’s not gonna get launched because the wheels are beefy and made to handle those speeds. Of course they check the quality of the road before bombing to be safe.

Front trucks : loose ( so you can turn) Back trucks : tight ( for stability!) The riders weight is almost all on the front of his board. When he's tucking he is leaning forward putting even more weight to the front. His legs are incredibly strong which add stability. This is similar to cars traveling on a road.. the front wheels turn the back wheels do not. And most of the weight ( the engine) is in the front of the vehicle. You can worry about your bushing color ( or nah), everyone is different it's all preference. But most important is that the shape of your bushing .. Barrel bushing: stable Cone bushing: reactive and turn-y. ( Not stable)

Definitely depends on the trucks you ride. I have gone 85kph with my valkyries 160/45/30 with loose bushings, I recommend only tightening them to the point you have no lateral slop when turning trucks with your hands.

Get some gloves and learn to slide asap! Search coleman slide and start there. You have absolutely no experience skating downhill if you don't know how slide and stop.

@DB Cooper's MoneyBags I love the one in Columbia

Comment might be a little late but they need to try this for an Olympic sport......just an idea for the future maybe

Cool if ya fall off ya can grab a baggie off some hippy haha cheap way

BEST DAMN CANNABIS IN THE WORLD!! 🍁😁🤙

And awesome people.

@@Canadian_Craftsman export it my friend send samples to the people hahaha cool that you can play and smoke

I want some

Everyone starts slow. Practice makes perfect. Treat slow speed like high speed and someday you'll treat high speed like slow speed. Once you become proficient at sliding both directions.. things get a lot easier and safer.

I would rather skate with no guard rails and so would he. guard rails are a death sentence if you slide into one doing 50 mph. So is going over a cliff, but guard rails are bad news for downhill skaters/

@@davidprice7814 yeah I gotchu, I ride downhill too but I’d rather hit a rail than fly off a cliff

pebbles don't matter wheel bite doesn't happen when you know your gear paint lines dont matter

@@Robo0595 Yes! That's the awnser I wanted to hear ! (NOT the one my wife wanted to hear)

they do when they race

Abstrict point is if your going 75 plus MPH you should probably be wearing protective gear because if you were to fly off and not be wearing any protective gear you’d be screwed. If I’m going to bomb a hill I always wear protection.

@@5lrhythms803 i respect that but its also the choice of the rider i think he propably knows all the above about flyng off at 75mph lol

Abstrict agreed I dunno I guess I just see things differently. I like to be safer then sorry.

@@5lrhythms803 its safer that way for suuure haha

Stalefish actually

Yo! Check out Muirskate.com, do some research on best board/gear to get. Get some slide gloves, an s1 helmet, and go to a mellow hill. Something open, straight, not too steep, and you can hike and practice slides. Once you get the hang of sliding, push it faster and faster, and then harder and harder hills. Once you get the hang every time then you continue. But patience is key and starting from the ground up is also key. Eventually roads like this, feel like nothing at all. Just another day skateboarding :)

They used to race there regularly. I don't think they're doing that venue anymore though unfortunately. Search "pikes peak skateboard"

Powell!!

@@spud4k what kind of trucks?

Tighten your rear truck more than the front. Plus the long wheelbase and wide trucks of a longboard are way more stable.

Harder bushings... use barrels(harder on rear trucks/ boardside), tighter trucks, stiff board, the rest is really up to you controlling and leaning forward

Practice. Speed wobbles are 90% rider error.

Really depends. This one we’ve skated a lot

your sooo obsessed with the doods balls bro lol

Usually none, just a lot of road rash! ;)

Are you joking?

@@spud4k perhaps

Gotta really hold on when it counts haha

Yes

Alex Dujour that was close!

I thought the same thing lol

Make sure you get the correct equipment and train before you go down a hill like this!! You need to start small and work your way up. Always be comfortable at the speed you are going at, and be able to slide and control your speed when you need to slow down and stop. Get a board and start riding! Just please do it safely 🖤

Yeah man, I gotta agree with the previous reply. Until you can slide to a stop, and slide to slow down, you have no business going any faster than you can run. A hill like this would make you wobble out at half the speed he is going. I've got 20+ longboards with half being able to go these speeds. But it's been years since I've hit a hill like this. Turns out falling at 50+ MPH hurts.......A LOT.

We don’t want to snitch on ourselves

The man doesn't need a seat belt, he needs a belt

@Emmanuel Hunt no offense taken! Once when I was a kid, i had a big (for the time, 1980) Makaha board. I guess I had it around 25 mph on a hill it was probably faster. I'm glad I took the opportunity. But itt was fucking scary! I was just wondering about the equipment. Thanks
